The world is a better place because:

1. My daughter gives me a reason to live every single day.

2. People can change. People can forgive. I still believe that people are essentially good.

3. After everything I have been through in the romance arena, I am still capable of loving my partner now, wholly and completely, with no hesitations.

4. I am thirty and I feel like a teenager. My body may be changing, and I have matured, but the world still manages to amaze me every single day.

5. I am blessed that what I love my work, and my work gives me time to do other things that I love as well.

6. I have awesome, amazing friends on all corners of the earth, who I know will be there in a heartbeat if they knew I really needed them.

7. My kitchen skillz.

8. My family loves me. And I love them.
